The Cottonwood Fire near Mount Potosi had burned 2,834 acres and was 93 percent contained, up from 5 percent the day before, according to a report posted by Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest.
The fire, which was started by lightning, began burning Monday but as of Thursday all nearby roads had been reopened, officials said.
